MARCH News
Welcome March!
We are at the home stretch and this year will be over before we know it. This year has gone by so fast! Be looking for a green permission slip to come home for all end of the year trips. We have a few fun things planned. Please return as soon as possible after receiving.
We have begun practicing for the ITBS testing. It is important that your child is here on time for these practice tests. We will not be able to go back and test / practice each portion for each individual student that missed. These practice tests are very important for teaching tips and tricks and we need everyone here.
